Bristol is one of those places that is hard to describe. There is a certain buzz in the air and a sense of freedom and adventure that has to be experienced in real life. Students in Bristol are lucky to have an excellent student nightlife scene, great (and cheap!) places to eat and all a stone’s throw from our student-friendly serviced apartments in the heart of the city.
Student Dining in Bristol
Bristol is full of great places to eat – from fantastic street food to five-star dining. There are many different cuisines represented in the city from many cultures and price ranges. Some of our favourite student-friendly restaurants are:
St Nicks Market serves street food every Tuesday and Friday, with dinner options ranging from burgers and falafel to Japanese, Brazilian and Indian food.
Harbourside Market runs from midday to 3pm every Tuesday and 11am to 4pm every Saturday and Sunday and has a great selection of reasonably priced sandwiches, doughnuts, fried chicken, pizzas and so much more.
Pinkmans Bakery is always busy. An award-winning bakery by day, Pinkmans serves delicious pizza by night. It’s great for a quick between lectures bite.
